If you haven't heard of Hellgate:London, it's the first game by ex-Blizzard guys led by Bill Roper. It's supposed to be the next spiritual successor to the Diablo series.
First, the good news. It is expected to be released in summer 2007.
Next the bad news. It's quite likely that online play will be pay-for-play, and not the free Guild Wars model everyone assumed.

It's nice that a free singleplayer mode will be included, and I'd like to see some sort of basic free online model with disabled features or something. Hellgate:London had been the only game I've been looking forward to lately (other than maybe Spore).
ZOMG If Bill Roper and the others keep up the old Blizz traditions it'll probably ship in 2009:whistling: Up to now I haven't played a subscription game, but if it doesn't include massive raids and turning into a Macro-Bot I'll probably sign on! Anybody else?
